Pros

For a simple shop job, you do get a decent hourly rate - a lot of shops pay less. Even under 18s get 6.66 an hour, which is unheard of in retail. Good as a means to an end - get your bills paid and not too hard. Get to meet a lovely bunch of people, most colleagues are very friendly.

Cons

Heavy lifting is requires, and usually strange hours. I have Tuesdays and Wednesday's off and work all weekend, which means my social life has diminished. I work sometimes lates and sometimes earlies, the hours are usually all over the place. While it is decent money, it's not great and one or two supermarkets pay better. Little chance of progression too, it takes years and years and will not get you very far.

Pros

If your looking for flexibility over reliability then ASDA has turned to this. With the huge turnover in staff and management a lot of different characters come in and out. This has lead to some really good friendships in my time here.

Cons

With companies like Lidl paying a living wage ASDA refuses to listen to paying anywhere near those rates. Even though Walmart was ranked 1 on the Fortune 500s richest business' list. Managers are either complacent in their job role having been there for years or are in a different store less than a year from arriving. Progression is only upwards. If you do not want to progress into their gang culture roles provided there is no other way to earn money. Loyalty and morality is thrown by the waste side for yes men and women regardless of work rate.
